Well Gyp has been limp free for a week and off meds for 4 days ... I was sure that when she injured her self 2 weeks ago it would be something very major. She's had acupuncture, laser, chiro massage (by me) and she is recovering fast - like an athlete should. It was thought it could be a major injury, but without the dogs being able to speak all we have to go on is her visible soundless, feel of muscles and flexibility - and all seems good. So I've decided to keep her in the CKC Herding Trial this weekend. She is in no way ready for the intensity of agility, I was planning on giving her the month off (before she injured herself), and that is not changing - still on the fence about Nationals - wait and see is all we can do. The arena course this weekend is small - where she is at her nice pace - a trot (I hope!!) she will be fine - it's the light exercise she has been getting anyway. It's been 3 weeks since she has seen sheep, and 2 weeks on rest with light exercise ... I'm pretty sure she will be amped. She was ready a month ago, so if we do like we've been doing it should be great!! It's my first time in the herding venue and it's safe I day I have a few nervous butterflies. Any day spent with Gyp is a good day, so we are going to enjoy the ride!!!
Gyppie being good ...
I hope she remembers how ...
And in other news ...
